Transition from Ramp to FO?
I’m currently taking a year leave from my ramp position to get 1500 hours as a cii/cfii. Do we have any ramp or customer service agents that have made to the transition to FO? What was the hiring process like? Do vacation and 401k benefits start over as a first year employee? I assume you get the top seniority of your hire class. Just curious what the whole process was like. Thanks!

You should retain longevity for vacay and travel priority.
Not sure about 401k, since pilots have a different match scale than other employees.
Not sure about seniority in class, they might give that to cadets or XJT graduates before you.

Appreciate the responses. The info on SWOL is pretty vague on everything except the actual LOA rules. The class seniority isn’t that big of deal to me, but starting over 401k and vacation accrual at year one would hurt.
